Hello, I am

Nathan Steinle

And I'm an

working at the University of Manitoba in Canada experienced in Python-based pipeline development and quality-focused delivery across small and large collaborations to provide value-driven impact in cutting-edge projects. My expertise focuses on multi-messenger and multi-band studies of compact binaries, and bridges theoretical physics models with analysis of real datasets using big data and machine learning tools. I also have over 8 years of teaching in diverse environments and various age groups, from 5th graders and middle schoolers to high schoolers and university. Check out my google scholar page below, and feel free to contact me about new collaborations or any questions pertaining to astrophysics.

About Me

Astrophysicist!

Through my work as a professional astrophysicist, I discovered my passion for data science, machine learning, and scientific interpretation and prediction. As a postdoc I have extended this to a far-reaching expertise across astronomy and astrophysics focusing on data science applications in gravitational-wave astronomy. Ultimately, my passion for data science encourages me to explore all options and I am very eager to apply my analysis and machine learning skills to real-world problems in industry and everywhere. My international experience brings a wholesome and compassionate perspective to data science that focuses on student-led, team-oriented, and independent problem solving. Mentoring colleagues and students and collaborating on projects is a constant area of growth in my career; currently I lead/co-lead 7 collaborative projects, where 4 of them involve novel machine learning applications to real-world datasets involving students.

Python, Matlab, C++, Slurm/HTCondor, Latex, Linux, MacOS, Windows, Github/Gitlab
